just as my generation seeing the cuyahoga river burn changed the way we thought about the environment. what if the great climate denial fraud will stand in the an annas of american scandals beside watergate and teapot dome and the corruption leading up to the great crash of 1929 -- as a dark smear across the pages of our american history? there was an iconic recruiting poster for world war i. i wish i had it with me but i don't. it's a picture of a fella sitting in his armchair with two little children and they're asking him, "daddy, what did you do in the great war?" and he's looking sadly out at the viewer of the poster because clearly he had not done his part in the great war. that was the message of that poster. "daddy, what did you do in the great war?" what if we have to be asked by our children and grandchildren when they are studying this disgraceful episode in their history classes, "mommy, what did you do in the great climate fraud?" "grandpa, what did you do in the great climate fraud?" why do i come every week to give these speeches? because these questions stick in my cra

the kind of internal cultural environment of some of the federal agencies withheld information that we get from you. and i know as a former mayor our police department has an ongoing effort especially with gang activity to try to make sure the information flows because we are on the streets every minute and every day dealing with these incidents is and what we end up doing on the gaming issue, we actually hire the prosecutors and put them in the u.s. attorney's office so we can have a better relationship and actually worked very successfully, but we had to create an environment. we didn't have to give it legislatively, we could do it on the regulation. and you see also the culture -- is that something that so deep and ingrained in the agencies that will take time to happen or it can happen very rapidly because the new understanding of the instances could be homegrown like this example? >> i think it can happen rapidly, senator. this is a problem that isn't just the agency. i have had units in my own department that wouldn't talk to each other. this is a constant cultural thing that my

so you're in a rising rate environment moving from a fixed rate to a floating rate without a cap. without an effective cap. so what we know is it might not be next year, it might not be the following year, but very relatively quickly we could likely see and will likely see students paying higher than the 6.8% rate. and without a cap it could be significantly higher. and so if we adopt the proposal that's suggested by my colleagues -- and they have been working with great energy and great sincerity to come up with a solution -- i'm afraid we're going to end up ultimately seeing students paying much, much more. and that's not what we should be about. we have a situation right now, even with the 3.4% that just doubled july 1, 6.8%, where the federal government is making about $50 billion this year between the cost of funds and the repayments being made by students. so students have become profit centers for the federal government rather than, as i think the intention of the program, that the federal government is going to help students go ahead and get through college so they can hel
